Dave,
I guess you have to prove that it was alive in 2013. So need to do accurate 
time of death on this bird even to count for the count week.

Yesterday I found this mostly consumed corpse in the ditch very close to our 
house on South Hill. I can guess at an identification but I am sure the group 
will know.  I saw crow or raven tracks around it in the snow but could it have 
been a car strike or a larger hawk?
 Also, would the Lab of O be interested in this if most of it is gone?
